PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 Reproduction HuCards/Cases for Sale!

[Sapicco]

Just so you guys know, once the current stock of the mini cases these repro comes with runs out, we won't be able to get any more.

That's a bummer. These cases are awesome. Well I guess its time to get 1941 for the Supergrafx.
PM SENT...

Excellent game. I toyed with the idea of ordering a 1941/Ghouls n Ghosts 2-in-1, but as I can only play it on retrofreak, I could just run the original ROMs instead.

Can the super grafx games be put on these repro cards and play in a regular tg16?

No.


I hope you're kidding.

But you can get Supergrafx repros for play in a Supergrafx!

You can also presumably play Supergrafx repros on the Retro Freak, but IMO buying physical repros to play in an emulator box when you can just simply backdoor load the ROM seems like something only a "collectard" would do.

   Hey everyone, so I went to the Socal Retro Gaming Expo last month and I went with some Turbografx games to trade. I went to Pat The Nes Punk's booth and he had a Turbograx CD traveling case with Docking Station for $150. I showed him what I had to trade and in the mix was the Bonk 3 repro I recently auctioned off. When it opened up my bag and pulled out my box of TurboGrafx stuff first thing on top was Bonk 3 Repro. Pat immediately saw it said "oh you have Bonk 3". I replied "No it's a reproduction I purchase but I recently got a original Bonk 3 so I'm just looking to trade it away". Pat looked at it and thought it was pretty cool he was really impressed that it said it was a reproduction. I thought he kind of played dumb about it since he had it in his hands and then on the podcast said they were in PSP sized cases. They are smaller and better. Anyways Pat was a nice guy I traded him a sealed Sonic Spike(Mint) Cadash in case with manual (Mint) and Adams Family in case (Mint) and $45 for the Case and Docking station in great condition. Still has the protective film on label and has both latch buttons.

  In my opinion these repos are worth every penny if it fits what your looking for. I have all HuCard games except Legend of Hero Tonma and Magical Chase so I purchased these from Turbokon. Plus with Sparky's end labels it just looked weird not having them in my collection. I'm 40 years old and I just like physical copies of things that I collect. In my opinion emulators ruin the fun of collecting. I enjoy the hunt and capture of games I've wanted. I'm never going to pay $4,000 for a game. So for the handful of games  I want that are outrageously priced these repos work great for me.
                                           Thanks Turbokon!

Thanks for sharing.

I think you will find that a lot of us actually like the idea of reproductions: what we despise is (1) when these items are sold for exorbitant prices and (2) when deceitful sellers are not forthright about an item and (3) when ignorant buyers are unaware of bootlegs and/or justify exorbitant pricing.

Obviously, the debate for honest sellers concerns what an acceptable profit margin is. This is complicated when the original purchase was at an inflated price, to begin with, and profit-seeking guides all subsequent transactions.

The dude above me mentioned sfx games, and I'd figured I'd ask. Not about to sift thru 25 pages

The SuperGrafx has an extra video processor and ram. It's kinda like a 32X setup compared to normal Genesis. So you can't run SuperGrafx games on anything but SuperGrafx hardware.

Someone should have had made a EXT Supergrafx Adapter for the PCE a long time ago, even if there's only 5 games for it.

If if such a device could be made to work through the expansion bus, you'd have to destroy a real SGX to scavenge parts.  Either that or program a fpga, but at that point you might as well program the fpga to replace the core system, cd, etc. as well.

[turbokon]

Hey guys, it's been a while since I got on here but just thought I would gave an update. The mini cases are no longer available.  The hucard repros are now available without the cases.  3D printed case will be available soon.  Check website for new pricing.

[turbokon]

[turbokon]

Here is a couple of more games with the new 3D printed cases.

[MisterCrash]

Out of curiosity, will you be offering the cases for sale on their own? With the PCEngineFX cases no longer available for sale, there is likely to be some pent up demand.

Wow, those are even nicer than the older Vita style ones! 

It would also be a nice gesture to offer blank cases for people who want to "upgrade" loose games so they don't rely on donors.

[turbokon]

Thanks . There might be a possibility that these cases will be available separately in the near future.

I'll buy ten.

[johnnykonami]

Aww, I liked the little cases.  I missed out!  When my finances evened out I would probably be grabbing some of the homebrew stuff on these.

[turbokon]

Also, the new cases will have all new artworks from the mini cases.

[NightWolve]

Your HuCard production factory is in full swing I see.

[OldMan]

I sure hope they are printing those singly.

(Bonk 3, line 7, prehistoric her?)

Bonk does turn into a girl in the Japanese version...

Good catch . Haven't actually printed this yet.

Have you guys looked into making HuCards for HomeBrew and indie software? It would be cool to get a physical copy of Aetherbyte these days.

I PM'd them last year regarding this. Seems Aetherbyte insists on not using Turbokon's service unfortunately. That's too bad...

As much as I love my blue Atlantean, but damn those Turbokon repros are sexy as hell. A "licensed" copy of Atlantean with a slick glossy blue cool-to-the-touch PCB (instead of the usual black/white finish) would be epic, and little to no supply issues... 

[thesteve]

they wouldnt even need to release the rom, as these are programmable using a chip burner wired to a card slot

[CrackTiger]

Aetherbyte already have a new HuCard design of their own.

Hopefully it will also glow in the dark.

[OldMan]

Hopefully it will also glow in the dark.

Depends on if we can find a reliable supplier of quality glow-in-the-dark plastic :/

[Psycho Punch]

I'm expecting their next release to glow in the dark, assemble into a transformer when combined with other copies, have a Super FX + SVP in it, etc. but still have the same jewel case design that doesn't close properly.

[xcrement5x]

Don't forget the pogs either!

So, what kinds of limits are you guys self-imposing? Are there certain titles you aren't going to reproduce? I'm already glad you're asking our home-brew folks before trying to do their titles. What are the determining factors of which titles you select and which you'll avoid?

well as for title limits, we didnt put a mapper in the card, so only direct addressed games
the intent was to try to undercut the super rare price gouging titles, so cheaply available cards will be ignored for the most part
as for the homebrew games, they are currently produced titles, and as such it wouldnt be right to undercut it (however we would love to supply the blanks, or produce the cards for the homebrew scene)
